KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Correll Buckhalter ran for 113 yards on only 12 carries and the Denver Broncos scored the most points in franchise history at Arrowhead Stadium with a 44-13 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday in NFL action. The Broncos, who have traditionally struggled at Kansas City, managed to take a 14-6 lead at halftime by virtue of a 7-yard touchdown reception by Daniel Graham from Kyle Orton (15 of 25, 180 yards, 2 TD’s, INT) and a 2-yard scoring run by Knowshon Moreno. In the second half, the Broncos proceeded to blow the game open as Orton tossed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall, Andre’ Goodman returned a fumble 30 yards for a score and Matt Prater nailed a pair of field goals. Additionally, the Broncos’ defense remained solid as they surrendered only 222 yards of offense on the day and forced three turnovers. The win improved the Broncos to 8-4 on the season, while Kansas City slumped to 3-9. The Broncos next travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts, while the Chiefs will host Buffalo.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP)—Jessica McDonald scored the sole goal of the game and the North Carolina Lady Tar Heels won their record 20th women’s college soccer national championship with a 1-0 win over the Stanford Lady Cardinal Sunday at Aggie Stadium. The Lady Heels showed sufficient aggression early on, as they outshot Stanford, 10-2 in the first half and received McDonald’s goal within the first three minutes of regulation. From there, stellar defense, which repelled the Lady Cardinal at every turn, pulled out the historic win for North Carolina. The loss was Stanford’s only defeat of the season as they finished 25-1.
